Ever dreamed of leaving your life behind and hitting the road, just to see what happens? Three twenty-somethings from the UK, Ed, Will and Ginger, have been doing just that for the last three years.
What essentially started out as a “very long hike” has led to three young troubadours traveling the country on a nomadic trek with nothing more than the clothes on the backs and their canny ways.
By mainly camping out and relying on strangers, they have received a warm welcome from most of the places they have visited. The lads have been nicknamed Hobbits and modern-day Robin Hoods.
They have learned about surviving in the wild without any means of financial support. People have fed them and enjoyed their music and generally, they have had a great time.
